What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

- 2To save time, you can buy pre-packaged pomegranate arils from the grocery store.
- 3If you de-seed a whole pomegranate, store extra arils in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- 4Feel free to add other toppings like slivered almonds, walnuts, or a sprinkle of granola for extra crunch.
- 5For a thicker, almost ice-cream-like consistency, chill the assembled bowl in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving.
